GREEK-GODS.INFO- Background information on this website


About the Author

My name is Evangelia Hatzitsinidou and I am a web developer and teacher in Elementary School from Athens, Greece. I studied Computer Science at the University of Athens, Greece (B.Sc.) and recently I completed my Master's studies (M.Sc.) in "Technology Education & Digital Systems" (Department of Digital Systems Postgraduate Programme at the University of Piraeus, Greece), with e-learning as the area of study.
My Master's Thesis was based on Greek mythology.

I am the creator and author of www.greek-gods.info. The reason I created this website is because I am passionate over the ancient Greek culture and would like to provide this website's visitor with a brief insight in the wonderful Greek Mythology and Religion.
